The Center for Near East Policy Research is dedicated to proactive, investigative research and the publication of well-documented data on the core issues of Israeli-Arab relations, in order to provide insight into the complex reality of Israel for decision makers, journalists and the general public.
To this end, the Center for Near East Policy Research commissions top-flight journalists, film makers, academics and researchers to produce investigative reports and documentary films on Israeli-Palestinian relations, the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), the media and schools of the Palestinian Authority, Palestinian Authority security force and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).
The Center for Near East Policy Research sponsors press conferences and briefings at the US Congress, Canadian Parliament, Israeli Knesset, the UN Correspondents Association in New York City, the National Press Club in Washington DC, and other venues which impact upon public opinion, decision makers and the media.
The Center is currently calling attention to the humanitarian plight of the Palestinian refugees in UNRWA-administered refugee camps with a suggested reform of UNRWA policies, to adopt standards of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) criteria used for refugee rehabilitation worldwide.
